Project Description

Italian escapade

The Ligurian flavors of the Ponant Riviera

Of course there is no place like France! But…
Despite our proverbial chauvinism we must recognize that beneath the border lies a land of beauty, culture, art and gastronomy which is hard to match.

The Ponant Riviera used to be seen as the continuation of the French Riviera, and Sanremo or Bordighera used to attract kings and queens from all over Europe. Both will be a perfect introduction to the specialty of this part of Italy: the production of flowers. Here every inch is covered with green houses.

But no doubt that the best remains hidden behind the soft hills, just a few minutes away from the seaside.
We invite you to journey through the villages of Dolceacqua which fascinated Monet who came to paint the little bridge; and Apricale, a postcard of Italy.

And for lunch… che meraviglia!

The markets are unique, the gastronomy world famous, the people wonderful, the time slow, the colors eternal. There is no place in the world like Italy!
